Sisca

She was born on July 14, 1991, and is the only daugther in her family. She has only had permission to sing in public for when she was nineteen years old.

Her father imposed a ban on the classically trained singer as an infant but with her mother’s help she secretly trained her voice. Sisca is a fresh new talent that has only just begun to be unleashed.South East Asian based Sisca has been singing since the age of 3 and as a teenager turned away from popular music to follow the road much less travelled.

Sisca chose to pursue classical training and found a voice that rang true in the range and emotion that classical music offers.

Sisca’s father forbade his sheltered daughter to perform in public in order to protect her.It was her mother however who had the most influence on her. Her mother initiated her vocal training and helped Sisca evade her father to pursue her dreams. Sisca’s mother’s persistence and constant reassurance has led to the ban on public performance being lifted allowing Sisca to blossom into a talented and gifted performer.

SISCA

She chooses to write about issues on a larger scale rather than then the mundane in an attempt to rally us behind her. Sisca chooses provocative topics and poses questions about life journeys, nature, the environment and world events. A level of drama is also apparent in her songs. Encapsulating her need to express herself artistically juxtaposed with the knowledge of the only recent freedom to do so.

Childhood

Her debut original album titled ‘Impermanent Life’ has been written and recorded with some of the best contemporary writers and producers in Australasia. Audius and Leon King are responsible for some of the highest charting Australian releases reaching certified platinum sales and number ones in Australia and UK.Sisca’s music is a contradiction of sorts. Her lyrics have both a maturity well beyond her years and experience; with an uplifting and optimistic tone that only a person of her youth and naivety could deliver.

Current

Sisca was she was fast-tracked to have intensive vocal courses with renowned Conductor Avio Priatna Sisca also honed her craft while studying law at the University of Pelita Harapan.She lists her main musical influences as Sarah Brightman, Josh Groban, Andrea Bocelli, Allesandro Safina and outlines her adoration for Cecilia Bartoli. With these diverse musical icons in mind she has strived to create an album well beyond her years. Armed with an album full of diverse and glistening songs, and with permission to perform, Sisca is ready to take on the world.
